Don’t bogart medical marijuana

A proposal to allow Nevada's marijuana dispensaries to use up their stock to serve recreational users does a disservice to those users who rely on them for their supply.

At issue is a challenge by the state's liquor distributors, who feel they've been left out by lawmakers rushing to get Nevada's recreational marijuana up and running after the passage of an initiative last November.

Carson City District Judge James Wilson ruled last week that only licensed alcohol purveyors may be issued a license to distribute marijuana for the first 18 months the law is in effect.
